[Intro: Haunting, lone piano melody, slow and melancholic] (Verse 1) His heavy head upon my knees A lion purring, begging me to please. Tales of ropes and pins he breaks A man of iron, for heaven's sake. … He is the god, I am his quest But I am the sin of his vanity’s nest. (Verse 2) [Music: Guitar riff begins slow, low, and sinister] My ears, they listen, my eyes, they see. His secret power, his hollow misery. His long flowing locks. The root of his pride, The only thing keeping his strength inside. … He falls to sleep. Like a child now beneath. My ever sharp knife. For but silver, I unmake his life. (Chorus) [Music: Sudden explosion into heavy, distorted guitar and pounding double-bass drums] Golden locks hitting the floor. No longer the man he was before. Strength stolen from his thunderous breath. He is broken, waiting for death. He whimpers a bitter hurt sound. His legacy upon the ground. (Bridge) [Music: Guitar riff accelerates rapidly, high-speed, aggressive tension] Empty awakening his hollow eyes. … His world is fading, his charade dies. … Standing and laughing watching him fall My laughter ringing off the walls. (Outro) [Music: Sudden drop to a single, sharp piano chord] A man made of myth I had to break. … His heart I forsake. … his life, I take. Sleep now, your reign is at end. I was never your lover. I was never your friend. [fade to end]
